High School Soldier
Revelation that shakes the earth

The instant noodles needed to make the birthday cake were enough for everyone present at this event. Their arrival was not expected by Nio, but this was Arunika's plan. Nio himself had previous plans to spend himself a pile of instant noodles shaped like that birthday cake.

Some of the former members of the 1st Cruiser Squad will return to the unit early tomorrow morning, and some more will still remain in the city until orders to return to the original unit are given. Liben will be on duty again to another world, as he is the one who will probably be needed there for having a very close relationship with the Arevelk people.

The former member of Team 1 who will return to the original unit said farewell to Nio, with a thank you to Nio for making the adventure with Team 1 explorer is the most memorable thing, there are some things that make them angry and sad.

Then, an electric motorbike parked on the porch of the house, and is a birthday gift from Arunika to Nio. Although not the motorcycle that Nio wants, but at least Arunika wants to give something that is the same value as all that Nio gave for him. Also, Arunika bought it not with a repayment method in a certain period of time, he immediately paid off when ordering the motorcycle. The girl knew that buying a motorcycle in a installments would only make the price slightly higher than the price should be, even though directly paying the keel of the motorcycle made her savings almost exhausted.

However, Nio lightly said, “Don't worry, you can use my money.”

Honestly, Arunika feels very evil if she always depends on Nio, even though the young man uses the excuse ‘wants to reply to everything he gave before’. But, he did not know what the nominal amount of numbers in Nio's savings were, which he wanted to know from where Nio got the money to buy a house without being paid in installments within a certain period of time.

Previously, he was also very angry at Nio when the young man told him to stop working, and chose to relax at home with Lisa while accompanying Nike who was alone at home.

The fridge was no longer as empty as it used to be before the war with the otherworldly nation began, and ever since Nio got paid from the job of being his soldier they could pay all the arrears. As he got Nio's order to stop working, Arunika said, “Isn't adding savings to our future a very good thing?”

Although the reasons that Nio gathered there were many, even for the statement of Arunika, he still felt that Arunika would continue to answer if she continued to be pressured. He remembered that Arunika was a stubborn person, and was quite difficult to suppress. He had been with Arunika for more than ten years, so he was quite familiar with the nature of Arunika. So, she could not possibly continue to force Arunika to work, and let the girl do the thing she liked as long as it was still at the limit of reasonableness.

If the construction of the school has been completed and reopened, Arunika plans to return to being a teacher, even if it is not where she worked before. So does Lisa who has the same plan as Arunika, because of the ambition of those who want to have a stable income. Childcare home jobs and tutoring according to them have weaknesses in the unequal part of wages every month. Meanwhile, Lisa's desire to have a steady job because she has been allowed to stay with Arunika on Nio's orders, so she plans to repay the person's kindness. However, Nio requests that Lisa stay with Arunika in addition to not thinking about the monthly rental fee, she also thinks about the security of the girl.

In essence, Nio wanted what he had right now to be happiness for others, and that other person was Arunika who had done so much for him before. Then, Lisa had also given some small help to the two of them, and there were still many others who wanted Nio to repay her kindness.

To Nio, the scene before him was almost the same as an earth-shaking revelation.

“Kak--Arunika, why? What's wrong with you?”

Arunika attached her body to Nio in one corner of the room called ‘room belonging to Nio’. However, actually this room is still very messy even though it has not been used. Then, that person had also installed a device that allowed people to not hear sounds from inside this room, and that according to Nio was a mistake because Arunika was using it properly.

Apparently, Arunika did not care about Nio's face that looked dumbfounded, and increasingly buried her face in Nio's chest. He had enough difficulty to wrap his hands around Nio's body, and thought the nutritional intake that the young man had obtained was much better than when living alone with him.

Nio felt that the situation he was in now was far more dangerous than fighting with the 300,000 Alliance Troops and their heroes, because what was threatened now was not his life but his sacred future. According to him, maintaining chastity to get a legitimate partner is a must, he does not want to be a naive person despite the opportunity in front of him, he said, or he will receive a summons from a military court and get a sentence that cannot be imagined.

And more importantly, Nio did not have the slightest experience with women. However, he will always complain of being jealous of people who are riding on motorcycles with their girlfriends. If Nio was forced to choose, he would instantly choose to carry out dangerous missions and spend almost every day in the field. Although he had read some fantasy novels that had romantic elements that ended beautifully, but in the real world it could have been impossible.

“This is not a good thing..”

Arunika then showed her slightly reddened face, and the eyes that revealed the gaze of an adult female who was almost the same as Hevaz's were piercing Nio's soul.

“Do you not want to do something before leaving?”

“I want to do it, but it doesn't seem like a good idea.”

Arunika can imagine what Nio wants to do with her, but for her Nio is still a younger girlfriend than her. He also did not have any experience regarding men, and he was not sure his body could lure a top-tier man like Nio.

The warning alarm in Nio's head ordered him to run, but his body betrayed him. Nio easily wrapped both of his hands around Arunika's slender waist, and he slightly pushed the girl's body. What kind of game is up to him, and now the target is right in front of the eyes and very close.

Nio doesn't have any adult experience, but he has enough knowledge about AV artists. Now, he saw Arunika's face that was originally flushed slightly flushed like a tomato to his ear. Then, Nio drew closer to Arunika's face, while the girl could only close her eyes and follow the groove that Nio started. His heart beat faster, and his fingers squeezed out Nio's plain black shirt.

“Ahn..~”

It was a very seductive voice from Arunika when her lips met Nio's lips. Nio's hair felt like it was standing up, and made the young man immediately release his kiss from the girl before they actually did anything adult beyond kissing.

“That was my first kiss.”

“It... I also.”.

(olog note: yes it is, it is wong even though Nio's first kiss is the same Sigiz, but when he sleeps, so Nio considers a kiss with Arunika is his first kiss:v)

Benjamin, the President of the United States, angrily kicked a garbage basket in his office. He gets a call from the leader of his allied country, and a giant TV screen in front of him airs a live broadcast from Karanganyar. There are no more CIA and other agents in Indonesia, and no more phak can seize the guests now. The fatal blow that the mention of “We have captured American personnel of Asian descent,” has been heard to all the people of the US and its allies. In addition, the Karanganyar people incited by the CIA and the instigators from other countries have been arrested.

Once such news is spread, there will be hostility at home and internationally. Benjamin himself did not expect the Indonesian government would be brave and truly ferocious to do something like this. Indonesia has sealed America's ability to act, and kept them from taking any more action. And the Indonesian military and police have arrested all the activities of foreign agents such as the US, China, Japan, and the UK which will certainly make these countries get reproach and trouble.

Washington could have told the Indonesian government “Don't say such nonsense!” However, Suroso also has his flagship card for problems with the U. S., their agents who are obtained and become prisoners in Indonesia. US agents of Asian descent have been made to divulge some important information about his country's plans to take guests on the path of violence.

Suroso has sent a short message from a social media for Benjamin, “If you try and do something that could hurt our people and guests, America should prepare.”.

“Sial, shit! Fucking suroso! That bastard!”

He trampled on the contents of a spilled garbage basket, until the luxurious carpet in the White House Oval Room was littered with trash.

The President of the Russian Federation, Czarin Leonid, toast in front of his giant TV screen inside his office with a bottle of vodka he held and said, “Not bad, Indonesia. Turns out allied with you guys is the best.”

An imperfect gate with a diameter of 12 meters opens above the Connectors, and the witches who do this magic say they only last for five hours to keep the imperfect Gate open. It was more than enough time, and the entire army rushed up the transport vehicle to speed up the movement.

Today at 9 am, the first wave of Peace Forces contingent will be dispatched, along with Russia's ‘Dewa Baja’. Although there are doubts that this army can stop the conflict with the enemy, there are still many people who support it with prayer and hope that the war with the enemy can quickly end, peace in both worlds can be achieved. This does not mean that this country is addicted to war and likes it so much that it sends troops back to another world. There are some who deliberately entrusted the government to the Peacekeeping Forces to observe the politics of the enemy, and to do what is necessary to fight at the negotiating table.

So despite the dangerous situation in the other world, the soldiers looked impatient and happily went to the battlefield again. However, they were not soldiers who fell in love with war, they just wanted the country they served not to conflict with the enemy, he said, so they would do everything in their power not to fall on the otherworldly battlefield.

For the soldiers who came from the Student Army, they still wore a emblematic armband on their left arm under the red and white emblem. Most of them had pride at heart as the country chose them to fight in the new world. That meant the opportunity for them to show their hidden potential was wide open.

The first line had entered the Gate imperfectly, it made some soldiers look nervous because not knowing the inside of the Gate might just be quite frightening. It is very troublesome to explain the imperfect inside of the Gate for Russian and North Korean soldiers, as well as the TNI Soldiers who were first sent to another world, so letting them know for themselves is not a bad thing, counting adds to the experience that can be told to their grandchildren in the future.

Soldiers selected for the Peacekeeping Force are equipped with the latest equipment supplied by the three countries' domestic companies, and not equipment that should be entered by museums. That way, the quality of their equipment and combat improved drastically.

Inside an armored personnel carrier armed with a 20mm automatic cannon, there were 35 soldiers aboard including the driver and gun operator, one of them First Lieutenant Nio. He was seen leaning back in the passenger seat, and waiting for the turn of the vehicle he was riding in to enter the Gate. He was the only one who looked so calm as the entire army was nervous about heading to another world.

“A-are you guys nervous?”

A soldier of the rank of Corporal Two asked with a very clear nervous face, and it seemed like there were some of his friends riding on this vehicle.

“Letnan Nio, permission to speak..”.

“What, no need to be formal so, we are both from Student Army right?”

“Eh... okay. Please-your words to our nervous this.”

Nio glanced around to make sure that what the soldier said was the truth, and he held back the laughter when he saw most of the passengers very clearly his nervous feeling. He was thinking whether they were really the chosen warriors to fight to another harsh world, whereas they had yet to enter the Gate. Nio thought of this as ‘unexpected request’, and thought of cool words according to him. He looked once again at the entire passenger, and found himself ranked the highest among the passengers.

The sky at the front-line entrance of the struggle in the other world began to be invisible after the vehicles bit by bit, and it made the passengers even more nervous until some to let out cold sweat on their foreheads and palms.

With a slanted smile Nio said, “All right friends, the gates of hell I once entered open ‘lag’. You better not disappoint the gatekeepers, and fight proudly as TNI soldiers and Student Soldiers.”
